Oceania Cruises will spend the 2027/28 winter season in Europe, offering 17 cruises from November 2027 to March 2028 on the Oceania Allura. The itineraries, ranging from 9 to 26 days, will connect cities like Barcelona, Rome, Athens, and Istanbul, allowing passengers to rediscover the Mediterranean’s great destinations in a new way.
This intermediate season provides a more serene way to explore the region’s iconic cities, coastal villages, and islands, unlike the summer season. During excursions, passengers can take their time to stroll through squares, discover artisanal markets, or immerse themselves in local traditions and culture.

Overnight stays or late departures in ports like Bordeaux, Hamburg, Florence, and Pisa allow passengers to fully absorb the atmosphere, culture, and heritage of each location.
